DataArt was hired to develop a mobile application for BlackBerry® and Android™ phones. The engagement includes configuring a management system which contains a correct software build for each supported mobile device operating system and selects the right build for downloading to each participating device.
“We chose DataArt for their demonstrated mobile technology skills,” said Allan Lees, Chief Operations Officer of TexTango™. “We received great support from the start, and their developers provided us with the highest level of professionalism every step of the way.”
Besides the mobile apps, DataArt will work on a Web-based version of the application, which will include incorporating functionality from TexTango™ site and its advertisers, developing a content distribution system, integration with payment, accounting and e-mail management systems as well as database implementation.
The TexTango™ network supports charitable nonprofit organizations displaying their advertisements in rotation, including UNICEF, Rady Children’s Hospital, Empowering Spirits and the Life Rolls On Foundations, and America’s Toothfairy.
"We value clients like TexTango™ for their vision and commitment to a new, big idea,” said Eugene Goland, President of DataArt. “They’re challenging us and their customers to create a better future of mobile advertising options, and we’re happy to bring their vision to life, to become the trusted partner that DataArt strives to be for every client.”
